WARNING
When operating the heating or air condi-
tioning with climate control, the air that
enters the passenger compartment through
the air vents can be very hot or very cold
(depending on the set temperature). This
may cause burns or frostbite on unprotected
skin in the immediate area of the air vents.
Always keep sufficient distance between
unprotected parts of the body and the air
vents. If necessary, use the air distribu-
tion control to direct the air to air vents
in the vehicle interior that are not in the
immediate area of unprotected skin.
To make sure the heating or air condition-
ing with climate control works properly,
please observe the following:
R Keep the air intake grill free from
deposits, e.g. ice or snow, to ensure that Air conditioning with climate control
101>> Controls. Z

Use only charging cables which have been
approved and recommended for the vehicle.
Do not use:
R extension chords
R cable reels
R multiple sockets
R travel adapters
i When possible, only charge the high-
voltage battery when the charge level is
below 80 %.
It is recommended to charge the high-
voltage battery prior to reaching less
than 20% state of charge.
Discharged high-voltage battery When the high-voltage battery is com-
pletely discharged, the drive system is
switched off. This protects the battery
from exhaustive discharge.
i By switching the ignition off and on
again, the drive system can be briefly
reactivated once. This allows you to park
the vehicle safely.
Do not allow your vehicle to remain sta-
tionary for more than 14 days with a dis-
charged, or nearly discharged, high-volt-
age battery. You can check the charge level
with the charge level gauge (Y page 81).
High or low outside temperatures The efficiency of the high-voltage battery
is temperature-dependent and decreases
at high or low temperatures. Additionally,
the electrolytes used can gel at very low
temperatures.
You can check the maximum capacity avail-
able using the indicator in the multifunc-
tion display (Y page 87). Energy consumption and range The available energy of the high-voltage
battery is reduced by:
R
low outside temperatures
R switching on electrical consumers
At low temperatures and after being parked
for an extended period without charging,
the physical properties of the high-volt-
age battery:
R can cause a significant reduction in the
performance of the battery
R can lead to longer charging times
In extreme cases, you will not be able to
start the vehicle. For this reason, always
connect the charging cable or make sure the
battery is completely charged when park-
ing the vehicle in low outside tempera-
tures or for an extended period of time.
Due to its physical properties, the capa-
city of a high-voltage battery decreases
over its lifespan.
Thus, the following are reduced:
R the maximum attainable range of the
vehicle
R the maximum performance output (accel-
eration) of the vehicle
You can actively contribute to the reduc-
tion of the vehicle's energy consumption
by:
R driving conservatively
R maintaining the vehicle regularly
R decreasing the use of electrical consum-
ers
Notes on battery care Avoid storing and transporting the vehicle
at high temperatures for extended periods
of time (e. g. container transport).
When out of use for longer periods of time,
connect the vehicle to a voltage supply.
If the vehicle is not connected to a voltage
supply, it must remain within a tempera- High-voltage battery

If you remove the charging cable from the
power supply socket, the value is reset to
the default value for the next charging
process.
i You can also set the maximum charge
current via the control system
(Y page 92).
If differing values are set on the charg-
ing cable and the control system, the
high‑voltage battery is charged using
the lowest value.

The payment procedure and charging proc-
esses may differ between public charging
stations, depending on the provider.
Please make yourself familiar with the
proper procedures of the public charging
station at which you are intending to
charge your vehicle.
Charging station without charging com-
munication You must activate charging stations with-
out charging communication before the
charging process. This can be done with an
RFID card or a telephone call, for example. High-voltage battery
117>> Operation. Z

Observe the provider's instructions at the
charging station.
Charging station with charging commu-
nication („Plug&Charge“) You do not have to activate charging sta-
tions with charging communication before
the charging process. This is done by the
vehicle. This function is called "Plug &
Charge". Information is exchanged
between the vehicle and the charging sta-
tion via the charging cable for activation.
This is for:
R mutual authorization of the vehicle and
the charging station
R verification of contract data
R automatic billing of the energy costs
Electronic certificates are used here for
secure exchange of data.
If the verification of contract data is suc-
cessful, the charging process is initiated.
i A preliminary version of the
ISO/IEC 15118 standard is used for com-
munication between the vehicle and the
charging station. If it is necessary to
update your vehicle, consult an author-
ized electric drive smart center.
In order to use "Plug & Charge", you have to
configure the functions of your vehicle on
the "Vehicle Homepage" (Y page 120). For
this you require a "Plug & Charge" certif-
icate which you receive from your power
company after concluding a suitable con-
tract. Consult an authorized electric drive
smart center if you have problems with the
configuration or have no access to the
Internet.
The charging station offers information on
the availability of electricity and costs.
This information is processed by the vehi-
cle and is used for an optimum charging of
the high‑voltage battery (Y page 123). The
energy costs are automatically calculated
after the charging process is complete. With your existing electricity contract,
you and others who have access to your vehi-
cle can charge the costs to your electricity
bill. For this reason, cancel your existing
electricity contract for this vehicle
before you sell it. Delete your "Plug &
Charge" certificate by all means.
i
You can delete the certificate from the
vehicle's data on the "Vehicle Home-
page". Please consult an authorized
electric drive smart center if you do not
have access to the Internet.
If the charging station allows the con-
nected vehicle access to the Internet, you
can call up and change information per-
taining to the vehicle on the "Vehicle
Homepage" (Y page 120).

mated values because, for example, they are
influenced by the following factors:
R outside temperature
R active electrical consumers, e.g. air
conditioning, lights
R personal driving style
R traffic conditions
Plan for a sufficient reserve accordingly.
Connecting the vehicle to the Internet Via mobile service module
i
This function is only available if the
vehicle is equipped with a mobile
service module.
You can use the “Vehicle Homepage” when
the vehicle has connected to the Internet
via the mobile service module. The mobile
service module uses GSM (Global System for
Mobile Communications) and transfers the
required data via radio transmission. The
vehicle automatically detects if a connec-
tion to the Internet via the mobile service
module is available or not. No pre-settings
need to be done.
In order to use data transfer via the mobile
service module you do not need a SIM card
and no contract.
i There may be service limitations if the
vehicle is located for example in a
underground garage. Service limita-
tions may also appear in areas with poor
mobile service coverage. In theses cases
you can launch the Internet connection
via powerline (Y page 122).
Via powerline
You can also access the “Vehicle Homepage”
if you do not have GSM reception. This is
possible for example via your DSL router.
This connection is built by the plugged in
charging cable with the aid of the power-
line technology.
The vehicle supports powerline communi-
cation according to the "HomePlug AV" standard. Data is transmitted via phase L1
and the neutral conductor of the power line.
In order for the vehicle to access the Inter-
net, you require a commercially available
adapter of the "HomePlug AV" standard.
This adapter must also have an encryption
button so that it can be configured to com-
municate with the vehicle. Connect the
adapter to the power supply as well as your
Internet connection. If the adapter is con-
nected to different phase than L1, a phase
coupler must be additionally installed.
Only in this way can stable communication
be guaranteed. For questions, consult a
qualified electrician.
i If you already have a powerline network
installed, the vehicle can be integrated
into it.
To establish a connection between the
vehicle and a powerline adapter, carry out
the following:
X Connect the vehicle to a power socket or
a wallbox.
The right 003Dindicator lamp on the
vehicle socket must flash green.
X Insert the powerline adapter into a
neighboring power socket. Observe that
the vehicle and the adapter are con-
nected via phase L1.
X Switch on the ignition.
X Call up the Charge current
Charge current menu on the
control system (Y page 92).
Carry out the following steps within
30 seconds:
X If the value of the charge current is not
set to 8 A: set the value to 8 A and confirm.
X Set the value of the charge current to
12 A and confirm.
X Set the value of the charge current to
8 A and confirm. 122
High-voltage battery>> Operation.

X
Set the value of the charge current to
12 A and confirm.
X Press the encryption button on the pow-
erline adapter within three minutes.
When the powerline adapter shows a con-
nection, the connection process was suc-
cessful.
i Observe the separate operating
instructions of the powerline adapter.
i Contact an authorized electric drive
smart center if you have any questions.
X Next, set the value of the charge current
to the desired value once again.
As soon as the vehicle establishes an Inter-
net connection, you can also use the "Vehi-
cle Homepage" at home during the charging
process. Changes you have made via the
"Vehicle Homepage" are adopted after the
charging process is complete. This data
transmission ends after approximately
three days. Intelligent charging management
If you wish to charge economically and with
minimal damage to the battery, you must set
a departure time ( Ypage 90). This option
to optimize the charging process depends
on your electricity contract and the local
power supplier. Your vehicle detects this
option automatically. Depending on the
departure time which is set, the charging
process of the high-voltage battery may not
be started immediately or may be inter-
rupted during the process. Front compartment
Service flap
Remove the service flap to check the bat-
tery coolant level, windshield washer res-
ervoir level, and brake fluid level. Insert the service flap on the front of the
vehicle so that it does not get damaged or
dirty.
i
The service flap has a strap on the rear
side that ties it to the vehicle body. G
WARNING
Always turn the key to starter switch posi-
tion 0and remove the key from the starter
switch before opening the service flap.
If the windshield wipers should inadver-
tently be switched on, you could be ser-
iously injured by the wiper washer drive,
which is located just below the service
flap. G
WARNING
Make sure the service flap is locked while
driving. Otherwise, the service flap could
become detached and pose a hazard to you
or others.
! Check the fill levels at regular inter-
vals.

systems. In this case, it is important to
keep in mind that a considerably higher
degree of effort is necessary to brake and
steer the vehicle. Adapt your driving
accordingly. Brakes
G
WARNING
Make sure not to endanger any other road
users when carrying out braking maneu-
vers.
Refer to the description of the hydraulic
brake assistant (Y page 48).
! Because the ESP ®
operates automati-
cally, the ignition must be switched off
when the parking brake is being tested
on a brake test dynamometer. Active
braking action through the ESP ®
may oth-
erwise seriously damage the brake sys-
tem which is not covered by the smart
Limited Warranty.
Brake pad wear or a leak in the brake system
may be the reason for low brake fluid level
in the brake fluid reservoir.
The brake fluid level in the brake fluid
reservoir may be too low if the brake warn-
ing lamp in the instrument cluster comes
on (Y page 23) although the parking brake
is released.
Have the brake system inspected immedi-
ately. Contact an authorized electric drive
smart center.
All checks and service work on the brake
system should be carried out by qualified
technicians only. Contact an authorized
electric drive smart center.
Only install brake pads and use brake fluid
recommended by smart. Inclines G
WARNING
Resting your foot on the brake pedal will
cause excessive and premature wear of the
brake pads.
It can also result in the brakes overheat-
ing, thereby significantly reducing their
effectiveness and your ability to stop the
vehicle in sufficient time to avoid an acci-
dent.
Please observe the following guidelines to
avoid that the permitted maximum speed is
exceeded when driving on downhill grades:
R Do not move the gear selector lever to N.
R Recuperation is limited, if:
-the high-voltage battery is fully
charged or too cold
- the power electronics or the electric
motor is overheated.
When driving down long and steep grades,
do not depress the brake pedal perma-
nently. Depress it in intervals instead to
reduce the vehicle speed.
High and low stresses After hard braking, it is advisable to drive
on for some time, rather than immediately
park, so that the air stream will cool down
the brakes faster.
If your brake system is normally only sub-
jected to moderate loads, you should occa-
sionally test the effectiveness of the
brakes by applying above-normal braking
pressure at higher speeds. This will also
enhance the grip of the brake pads.

WARNING
Make sure not to endanger any other road
users when carrying out these braking
maneuvers. 148
